Hey! I realized I mistakenly replied to Tom privately instead of sending
my response to the list. In my reply, I said that the prototype is
currently in active development, but we plan to move to testing and seek
broader public feedback by the end of this year.
I also hope to share the architecture document in the coming days, which
will provide more details about the project implementation plans.
Thanks!
Alexander.

Hey Alexander,
Is there anything you could share about the outcome of this
experimental prototype?
Thanks,

+1. I'm also supportive of prototyping this work. It's obviously a
really tricky space, and it's not at all clear yet what would have
to be true for us to ship a feature like this in Chrome. But
supporting content creators is so important to Chromium's goals of
a thriving web that I think we should encourage and support
experimentation here. 0.03% of Chrome page loads already having
the web monetization tag (despite no mainstream browser support)
seems like a very positive sign to me, that's a huge amount of web
browsing.

Specification

<https://webmonetization.org/specification/>
Summary
Implement the Web Monetization spec. Web Monetization
is a web technology that enables website owners to
receive micro payments from users as they interact
with their content. It provides a way for content
creators and website owners to be compensated for
their work without relying solely on ads or
subscriptions. Notably, Web Monetization offers two
unique features—small payments and no user
interaction—users are paying/tipping for the content
while they consume it. It extends the HTML <link>
element by introducing rel="monetization". When this
element is incorporated into a web page, it signifies
the website's support for web monetization. If a user
has their wallet set up for a particular website,
their browser will automatically start a web
monetization session, enabling direct payments from
the user to the website.

Motivation
Web monetization offers a new revenue model for
content creators and website owners, allowing them to
earn from their work while users consume their
content. It also facilitates voluntary user
contributions, such as tips, directly rewarding the
creators for the value their content provides.

Web developers: a fraction of a percent of all web
pages have already been configured to use the feature
in anticipation of web/browser support, according to
metrics
<https://chromestatus.com/metrics/feature/timeline/popularity/3120>.
There used to be a different way to set up web
monetization on a web site by using HTML:meta tag,
which achieved 0.03% adoption
